Osbourne House, Isle of Wight. Credit @heather.redmond Queen Victoria died at Osborne House in January 1901. Following her death, the house became surplus to royal requirements and was given to the state, with a few rooms being retained as a private museum to Queen Victoria. From 1903 until 1921 it was used as a junior officer training college for the Royal Navy, known as the Royal Naval College, Osborne. In 1998 training programmes consolidated at the Britannia Royal Naval College, now at Dartmouth, thus vacating Osborne House. The House is now open to the public for tours. #behindthescenes #osbornehouse #isleofwight #queenvictoria #osborne #englishheritage #englishheritagesouth #perkofthejob #palace #historichouse #englishhistory #historical #queenvictoria #englishhistorynerd (at Osbourne House Isle of Wight) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvmTgbxDijD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7jnw1fipa8fu
